VB.NET w/MYSQL application

Question

I am trying to deploy an application with vb.net and Mysql.  The application works on my machine however it does not work on another machine.  I am not sure how I am able to use the database as I am getting the following exceptions:
Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost (using password: YES)
Followed by:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I have the sql file in the bin directory but I must be doing something wrong.
